Kinematic misalignment between the stellar and the ionized gas component (Ψ_stars−gas) against the stellar mass (left) and the interacting stage (right). Top panels show the entire range of Ψ_stars−gas while bottom panels show a zoom to highlight median values. In all the panels the red symbols represent early-type galaxies (i.e., E, S0 and Sa) and late-type are shown by blue symbols (i.e., Sb, Sc, Sd). For the left panels, gray dots represent the control sample while green squares and pink circles represent the median in each stellar mass bin for the control and interacting samples, respectively. For the right panels, the pink circles represent the median of Ψ_stars−gas in each interaction stage bin while the gray regions shows the median Ψ_stars−gas obtained from the control sample. As in previous figures, the bar in each bin represents the error in determined by a bootstrapping method.
